Nev Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 #9 finished for the year. Mixed feelings about this one, not my best work, made a few mistakes and didn't have time to properly correct them as I was up against a GB deadline on another site, but she's a decent 4 footer. She's a real hard bird to photograph with those big ole prop blades, and either my camera, or my photo editing software really doesn't like those stripey decals on the top of the wings and fuselage either. 46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 You give yourself too little credit. That looks very good and will stand up to closer examination with no problem at all. Is the kit a difficult build? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hardest part of the kit is the fuselage halves - it's shaped like a box with a flat top and bottom, so getting rid of the step and making it flat was the biggest chore. And its light years ahead of it's only competitor, the Italeri kit - an inaccurate depiction of the prototype with terrible fit and raised panel lines.

Abandoned Project Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Very nice. Looks just like the pair I can see out the window. Heading north over South Lincolnshire if you are interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dashellis Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Looks great to me, at least you finished yours, mine ended up in the bin lost patience with the fuselage halves. I have a bit more patience now, keep looking for another kit but they seem hard to come by. That's a great model and looks good on the red stand Darren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the models on there are stupid prices but I got this for RRP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
